THE LOOK
TRUE RADIANCE
“ Oval and radiant cut diamonds continue to lead bridal trends, especially in elegant yellow gold settings and timeless solitaires.”

David Audette, president of M. R. T. Jewelers, aims to help couples select their‘ forever’ band before the big day.
How does M. R. T. Jewelers assist couples in selecting their wedding bands? The art of the fit is just that— art. We take great pride in our approach to wedding band selection. It’ s more than just choosing the prettiest ring: The wedding band has to coexist with an already established engagement ring with its own style and personality. It helps that we keep hundreds of wedding band styles in store throughout the year; sometimes it’ s the most unexpected style that gives you the fit you’ ve been dreaming of.
What other products does M. R. T. Jewelers carry? We are wedding rings and so much more. We inventory the largest selection of GIA graded diamonds in Rhode Island, popular sizes and shapes— as well as rarely seen larger sizes— and natural fancy colors. If you’ re looking for a particular size, shape or quality, our experts can source even the most difficult request in two weeks or less!
What types of services do you offer? Did someone say custom? We have been providing custom design services for over 100 years. From high-tech computer-aided designs to old-school hand fabrication within our in-store Design Workshop, we regularly display unique designs from our factory and workshop. There’ s nothing better than owning a one-of-a-kind item, especially one designed and manufactured in the United States.
ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
“ Couples are moving away from traditional arches and choosing more modern, artistic designs and I’ m here for it! Envision floral meadows, broken arches, sculptural installs and aisle-focused florals. They want ceremony backdrops that feel personal, organic and intentional rather than classic or symmetrical.”
— Angela Rotondo, Bloom Back Flowers, bloombackflowers. com
PUT A RING ON IT
“ When selecting a ring, consider how it fits your everyday life— comfort, durability and style should work together. We offer complimentary professional jewelry cleaning anytime to keep your pieces looking their best.”
— Amanda Doumato, Flaunt Boutique – Ephraim Doumato Jewelers, flauntri. com
BOLD CHOICES
“ All merlot tones, rich and moody, layered with deep textures are florals that embody intentional luxury while exuding romance. It’ s a bold, dramatic statement that feels both sophisticated and utterly unforgettable.”
— Angela Rotondo, Bloom Back Flowers, bloombackflowers. com
